Man I just saw this on Dan's Tumblr:
They had one with the actual Russian name instead of fake Cyrillic, too.
And apparently it's a limited run that's already sold out

I think it would be similar to his reaction to when Vinny tried to explain Archon. http://youtu.be/aodwzo5dKDc?t=1m18s

wow, fantastic
There was also the reference to Dan Ryckert's feud with Blake Freeman
edit- beaten in the time it took me to find the clip

I feel like an unfortunate amount of Vinny's life has involved poop in unwanted places.

Yessssss!

I mean let's be honest here, at some point in life we will all have unfortunate moments involving poop in unwanted places.
It's likely to happen since most places are unwanted places for poop. In fact I can't think of many places at all where poop is wanted.

He shows up like 3 different times in that stream after that point, and gets increasingly douchier each time.

i haven't heard that clip but it can't be worse that the twitch guy gamespot had on their Extra Life stream. Guy was really, really pushing how cool he was. It was painful. When i learned that he was from Miami but more specifically from Kendall, well, it all made sense.
I don't understand. Wasn't that practically the first thing he said after introducing himself? What's douchy about that?
I must've missed something. There's a lot of background noise.
I can't watch that atm, is it a skinny white guy? I only remember that one of of their live shows, some guy was being a bit of a jerk and it made it unwatchable.
Oh god, that was painful

I mean it's awkward but I kind of get what he was doing
but then you get to this part: http://youtu.be/1db5yJXCQDw?t=1h12m55s
keep listening. it gets real bad. he basically admits he's a fraud and super under-qualified for the position, and on;y got the interview through sheer persistence.
it's all a beautiful trainwreck to watch unfold

Damnit you guys, I'm trying to work and you're sending me down the youtube giant bomb clip hole again. I know what I'm listening to all day.

Oh I get what he was trying to do and it was an awful plan executed awfully.
Yikes, that part you linked to... the guy wants so badly to be buddy-buddy with Jeff and is so oblivious that he is unwanted in that situation.
I just couldn't get my head around why someone had to stop listening after "What's your Tuesday look like?"
I mean in general.

It's a ridiculous leading line in a conversation where he's trying to interject himself into Jeff's schedule. The kid is utterly tactless in his attempt to impose himself on Jeff.
I liked that whenever the guests got a bit too rowdy, Ryan would usually be the one to wrangle them.
I guess so. For some reason I always assumed that's exactly what everyone in PAX would be like and thought I'm the outlier not wanting to treat a couple of video game journalists like rock stars. People who travel to these conventions to be in the same room with their heroes are often clingy and cringy.
For me I see tons of value in GB's content but the people behind it are no heroes or rolemodels to me.

That's no way to talk about whoever your GB dad is.

I think that's a healthy way of looking at it. You're right that many people probably idolize the GB crew and would get nervous speaking to them.
people need to calm down. when I met Jeff by chance at Patrick's panel in the first PAX East, I asked to take a pic with him, shook his hands and I was outta there. didn't wanna bother him.
Some people are worse than others in social situations, and when speaking to people they look up to/have seen in a lot of videos. It's only natural that a lot of people will look up to/get nervous around the GB crew, given the personality driven focus of the site. Youtubers get the exact same reaction at MAGfest and other places where they show up. It might feel silly, but think of the amount of content most GB fans consume and how big fans we are; I don't think it's strange that some people get nervous when they meet them at PAX even if they don't "look up to them" or anything like that.
If you want to see some real hero worship, go watch the Q&A section of a random Comic Con panel of a nerdy tv series or film

no thanks. seen some before.
That goes for everyone (celebrities, athletes etc), and is the right way of going about it.
I've been to most of their PAX panels since 08 and I talked to Jeff once, after their first in 08 to congratulate him on the new site. I never felt the need to go up to any of them for the sake of it. I usually try to get a picture with Vinny though just because there's a bit of history with our interactions at PAX haha.

I've never been one to get starstruck, unless it's someone famous I have a crush on. then, god help me. but even then I just stumble on my words and wander off at the first convenient moment.
if any "celebrity" thinks they're above you, they're not worth your time anyway.

I tend to go to at least one PAX a year, and I think I've seen one of the crew out on the floor every year. The only time I ever went up was that first year, where I shook Jeff's hand.
Other than that I tend to leave them be, although I note that I saw them.
Honestly, I just like going to their panels, because the live crowd effect (being around a bunch of people laughing with you) makes for a great and hilarious experience.

I'm trying to think of a reason why I'd want to approach any of the guys, and the only thing I can think of is to say hi to Drew or Vinny and tell them I really like their behind the scenes stuff and wouldn't mind seeing more.
or to say hi to Dan just because.
but he'll probably read this anyway, so hi Dan.
e: actually you know what, if the opportunity presented itself, I'd probably want to have a beer with Brad and talk about guinea pigs since he's done some stuff with bedding and housing that I've never tried and would like to know more.

this happened when I was younger when I used to go to a few comic cons. I was star struck with some artists cuz I grew up admiring their works. never cared for actual celebrities from TV /movies tho.
